(Guess I have a ways before I can get too excited)

The clock on my desk says 11:13
A rose stands beside it, the prettiest I’ve seen
I know it smells wonderful although I can’t tell,
For currently my nose won’t allow me to smell.

It’s 17 minutes past 11 right now
I’m thinking of ways to express to you how
Hard and how sudden I’ve fallen for you
But black ink on white paper just won’t quite do.

It’s been 10 minutes since I started this poem
I picture your face as I sit here alone
But loneliness doesn’t sit with me tonight
Cuz Bernie the Brown Bear is holding me tight

Just kidding, ol’ Bernie is there on the bed
He’s waiting for me to go rest my head
But I can’t get thoughts of you out of my mind
So Bernie must wait as I try to find

The words to explain what has happened to me
Why comfort is mine, not uncertainty
Why this rose has bloomed at just the right time
Why I’m just so happy at 11:39

One more minute ticked by now it’s 20 ‘til 12
If you have some more time please allow me to delve
A little bit more into my feelings for you
And tell you I love everything that you do

This writing began 34 minutes ago
I hope I’ve accomplished in letting you know
That no matter what time…..6 o’clock, 3 a.m.
I’m dreaming of you and the love that we’re in.
